About the BMW 635 CSi E24 Gubin Sport #23 E. Strycek DPM Winner 1984 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast BMW 635 CSi #23 reproduces Gubin Sport's livery from E. Strycek's 1984 DPM-winning campaign, a privateer touring-car effort built around BMW's E24 coupe. Opening doors and tampo-printed sponsor graphics carry the season's specific team branding.

Not every winning touring-car livery came from a factory team, and Gubin Sport's #23 635 CSi represents the kind of privateer effort that filled out 1980s German touring-car grids alongside the works-backed cars.

Privateer Touring-Car Racing in the Mid-1980s

West Germany's domestic touring-car championships through this period ran a genuine mix of factory-supported entries and independent teams campaigning cars on smaller budgets, and Gubin Sport's #23 sat firmly in the second camp. Fielding a 635 CSi against better-funded rivals meant getting more out of setup and driving than out of raw budget, and a season-winning result under those conditions carries its own kind of credibility. The 635 CSi remained a viable touring-car platform years after its road-car debut precisely because independent teams like Gubin Sport kept developing it rather than abandoning it for newer machinery. This livery, built around the team's own sponsor identity rather than a manufacturer's factory colors, is the kind of subject that rewards a collector who values touring-car history beyond the handful of works teams that usually get remembered.

Minichamps' Diecast Build

This 635 CSi shares its diecast construction with Minichamps' other E24 touring-car liveries, meaning doors that open to reveal a stripped racing interior and a metal body with real heft. The Gubin Sport branding and sponsor decals are tampo-printed onto the bodywork, holding crisp edges that adhesive stickers tend to lose at 1:18 scale, particularly on smaller text. Wheel and tire detail matches the touring-car stance the 635 CSi carried through its competition life, wider than any road-going equivalent. Panel gaps run slightly looser than a sealed resin casting could achieve, the standard trade-off for building in functional opening parts rather than a one-piece shell.

Rounding Out a Touring-Car Collection

This livery suits collectors building a broader German touring-car theme who want privateer entries represented alongside the more famous factory liveries, rounding out a shelf that would otherwise skew toward works teams only.
